Hints and tips

Biodegradable tent pegs make excellent kindling when the penny drops that getting them into the ground will result in smashed pegs and flapping guy ropes

I realise that some people need/want to wash their hair,

[mandypants]

I got a look of utter shock last year when I barged up to someone doing the full on hairwash/toothbrushing/upper body wash thing and just asked if I could give me hands a quick wash after going to the lav! Sharing is important kids!

Sociable crowd types

Always travel in groups of 10 when trying to get through large crowds, particularly at the front of the main stages. Hold hands, don't look where you're going and simply shoulder barge your way through without giving anyone a chance to move. Complete the look by occasionally stopping in the most inconvenient spot you can find.

NEVER pass up the opportunity to take a dump. You never know when you'll come to regret it.

'Hilarious' People: Don't forget to shout 'bollocks' every five minutes at any time of day or night to add to the 'crazy atmosphere' of Glastonbury. Equally 'hilarious' people will join in, and retort with a similarly witty reply of 'bollocks'. It really is a festival highlight for EVERYONE.

Only tip really is travel light, bring f**k all with you apart from a good tent and some underwear. You can get everything else there.

Edit - Stock up on some booze.

If you have a new tent for Glastonbury. Have a practice pitch and takedown the before you go. If only to check you've got all the bits you should have. Pitching a tent in the pouring rain is not the time to discover you have no idea how to pitch your tent and that some one forgot to put any pegs in you tent bag at the factory.

Do not expect a wheeled suitcase to get all your kit from the car park to your camp site. The wheels or handle or some thing will break, and you'll be left in tears halfway between the car park and the gates. You may think this is patronisingly obvious advice and it is, but you will see someone crying with a broken suitcase on your way in. Please make sure it's not you.

Wear Hunter's wellies and complete a snooty midle class look - goes down a treat and you will make many friends.

Bring a guitar and play your 3 cord oasis songs all night. Your camping neighbours will love you for it.

This is a very good one. Even if you have a pop-up tent, getting the buggers back in the bag is impossible unless you've practised A LOT previously! It took me about 19 attempts to get the sod packed away during the first practise.

And if it's a Quechua tent - the woman on the video on the website is a smug bitch. It's NOT that easy. HATE her on first glance. It's mandatory.

Rememebr its a festival. people are there for fun and will be up all hours. If you want a decent sleep where ear plugs.

[guyfawkes]

If your a light sleeper dont camp near the pilton bypass road at the back of wicket ground you'll be awake by 6.30 every morning!
